The Truth Captures Too-

You’ve captured me with your words and I’ve captured you with my love, 
You are captured within the wound while I’m captured within the blood.
You’ve captured me with lies and I’ve captured you with the truth,
You’ve captured me because I first captured you.
Thinking of possibilities and outlining what I thought to be our goals, 
Was destroyed within the truth in which has still not yet to be told.
Caught up within our love’s science fiction,
Is sole the reason I’m still not prepared for the next transition.
Not ready to be subjected to the level of someone else’s fool,
I dwell within the false pretences of happiness that I had with you.
Thought that our lies were strong enough to be the truth,
That I forgot that these lies was what drew me to you.
And I wanted to destroy that bridge that held us together,
Not knowing that, that bridge would be gone forever.
I decided I could handle the truth,
And I could, just as long as it wasn’t coming from you.
Just as long as you kept me out of certain aspects of your mind,
I was always able to do just fine.
For I knew of what I thought to be you,
And it was minus the honest unforgettable truth.
That in all reality the story presides,
That Our love was built on nothing but lies. 
I loved you, I was in love with you,
Now that was the truth.
But you being in love with me,
Was and could never be reality.
As much as I wanted and needed you, you could never be,
The one that I knew was meant for me. 
You refused to take that position because you had already knew,
That though I desired it, I for one could never be the one for you.
The only reason we ever really was,
Was because, you’ve captured me with your words and I captured you with my 
love, 
You were captured within the wounds while I was captured within the blood.
You had captured me with lies and I had captured you with the truth,
And the only reason you had captured me was because I first captured you…
